- I need advice about this fish!
- Thank you for the advice!!
- A few weeks ago my tank tank exploded and I lost about 30% of my fish and so much else. Managed to save all four goldfish and I've had all these guys squashed in my 30 gallon emergency tank since then. 2 generous redditors donated money so I could get a new tank, and this is what I did:
- My goldfish died :(
- New post: notch in head above mouth of 2 fish appeared, visible when mouth closed. Fish otherwise 100% normal
- Goldfish breeding
- just saying hi :)

- Advice on moving my really old goldfish
- Old tank Syndrome?
- Filter recs for new 75 gallon aquarium?

- How can I properly clean my primary tank while my fish are in their hospital tank for ick?

| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:57 PM PDT hello fellow sea pig friends :) I posted a little while ago with a few questions about my fishes! we were very ill informed on how to care for our 2 new goldfish (they were in only a 10 gallon admittedly very small tank) but i wanted to thank you all for your excellent & kind advice! I believe reddit saved my goldfish! We are currently cycling through our new 55 gallon tank with 3 live plants & a better filter & lots of sand! I wanted to remind you all that kind words and advice help new goldie owners SO much & it's very encouraging & to keep spreading kind advice to help as many fishes as we can, negative comments can be super discouraging! also I will add a pic in a little bit once the goldies are all moved in :) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 10:31 AM PDT I had him 6 years. Passed away from swim bladder disease last night. I am very sad. I didn't expect to get so attached to a pet I couldn't cuddle but this hurts just as much as losing a dog or cat. RIP "Spot". [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 08:27 PM PDT Hi guys. I'm relatively new to goldfish breeding that's why I'm asking this. So i hope you guys don't mind. My female fancy fantail goldfish is only laying white eggs and i know that males have been trying to fertilize them but they still stay white. What does that mean ? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 09:12 PM PDT I am moving apartments and the new one's insurance doesn't cover fish tanks over 1 gallon. I have a beautiful black moor in a 30 gallon. The landlord said she would turn a blind eye and let me keep my fish but if the tank failed/broke/leaked all the damage costs would be on me. I definitely can't afford to fix a water damaged floor/ceiling (new apartment is on the top floor) and I don't want to give up my fish. Are there any ways to reinforce a tank that aren't surrounding it in duct tape so I can keep her with peace of mind? I have never had issues with the tank, have almost had it for a year so worried about fatigue/general surprise failure. TLDR: Is there an aesthetically pleasing and affordable way to reinforce my 30 gal fish tank to protect against tank failure? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:52 PM PDT Hello! I've had my ranchu almost a month now and hes surprised me with a little wen growth! He was pretty big when I got him (3-3.5 in) so I thought he just didn't have the genetics for nice wen growth. Does anyone have before and afters of their ranchu? Hoping for some inspiration.

| Advice on moving my really old goldfish Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:16 AM PDT Hi, I need to move my goldfish out of my dad's house and into a new, larger tank. It wouldn't be a massive move (about an hours drive at most) but he's very, very old. I think he's a comet goldfish and he must be at least 14 years old now. Is there anything specific I should be doing to reduce stress during travel? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:08 PM PDT Just wondering if anyone has suffered this. Had a tank for 2 years. Tested consistently. Moved to our permanent home, got a 75 gallon, then got comfy for two years. Didn't notice a problem until the albino loach had an internal parasite. Started testing the water again and PH is tanked, Ammonia is through the roof. First I tried no extra chemicals (but did water changes), to see if it would balance itself out to now I am moving on to chemicals (within reason of course). Ill be adding stability (Seachem) to get my ph up and ammonia under control. Read online this could be old tank syndrome? It might have been lazy tank syndrome on my part (did water changes and filter maintenance and thought, well I can skip testing). Never again. I have a 75 gal, 2 goldfish, 2 dojo loaches. Stocked to maximum capacity I know, but I do water changes religiously as well as filter maintenance. The one loach is 13 inches (how, idk) and the oldest goldfish is 4 years old. No cloudy eyes and no red streaks in the fins, but I'll keep working to get the water under control :) just wondering if anyone encountered old tank Syndrome (lazy tank syndrome in my case).

| Filter recs for new 75 gallon aquarium? Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:43 AM PDT Hi, I'm planning a 75 gallon aquarium, with a goal of eventually having 2 to 3 Orandas. Any specific filter recommendations? Should I get multiple filters? Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 15 Mar 2021 01:06 PM PDT Hello everyone, I'll cut to the chase first: Can anyone tell me anything I should know about starting an outdoor fish pond? Things I'm worried about: This pond will be around wildlife, is there a certain depth I should dig to to protect them? Do the fish need to be raised a certain way to live in a outdoor environment with no heater? I'm trying to raise a houses property value and a really easy way to do that it seems is making a "Koi pond" (AKA: Comet goldfish pond). I got interested in the concept when trying to help a friend research pond building. This video series made it seem doable and fairly simple: Part 1 of 4 (seen this whole 4 part series, will check out more as the project gets closer) I've also seen a few videos on making your own filtration: Type of filter I'll be using Question on filter: If I bury it underground (to hide it) do you think it will crack? I want to have 2 extra trash cans on the outside for layers of protection. I have another job to do after my arm heals, long before I can start this build (it's in the same area I picked out for the pond), so the build itself is a few months away at least. I'll leave these Comet goldfish as part of the houses final sale but I'll be taking good care of them in the meantime. I hope to leave a "pond care" locker for the purchasers of the house, with instructions on the ponds maintenance, pumps, some food for the fish etc. so that even first time fish owners will be able to take care of it (or more likely, pay someone else to do it). To anyone keeping track of my Common Goldfish, I do intend to take them with me when I move. Right now I'm working out the particulars of their upgrade. I've switched the build completely. I decided to go with an indoor pond for them that is 5.5 feet in diameter and 300 gallons. Hope to have them installed in their forever home soon and transport it with them when I travel across the country. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How can I properly clean my primary tank while my fish are in their hospital tank for ick? Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:17 AM PDT I noticed yesterday my poor two goldies has clamped fins and were acting weak, and just very inactive. One I've been having issues with for a while and doing my best to treat but I finally saw white spot disease all over my little babes today forming. I immediately got my hospital tank ready and have the two of them in there undergoing their treatment for the next 5 days. This is the first I've ever dealt with ick and was wondering how I can properly clean the main tank for when they are able to go back to it. I still have 3 aquarium snails in the primary tank which is why I didn't want to do the ick treatment in there and harm them. But is there a way, without using a heater, to properly clean my tank to make sure once I put my treated fish back in, they don't have to deal with Ick relapses? [link] [comments]  |
